My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 600: Chapter 572: Catching Everything in One Net

“The Emissary…did he really say that?” He Zhenghao hesitated.

Gao Yuan was a bit disbelieving too, “Everyone knows that the Emissary’s divining abilities are profound and mysterious. If he wanted to accumulate wealth, is there any method that he can’t use? Why does he need to conduct business transaction like us? It will only serve to diminish his status!”

Seeing their reactions, “Zhou Qingang” snorted, “What the Emissary is planning for is not something you two can understand.”

“But never mind. In order to convince you wholeheartedly, I will reveal some insider information.”

He lowered his voice and whispered, “The Emissary not only predicted that the Battle of Heavenly Spirit State is about to end, he also foresaw that after the war, the Immortal Alliance would issue an order to aid quick recovery.”

“What?” He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan were taken aback, attentively listening.

“Zhou Qingang”, speaking slowly, said, “All Immortal Alliance cultivators can purchase Techniques within the Tianxuan Mirror at a discounted price.”

“Although divination that involves strange objects like the Tianxuan Mirror may have some errors, according to the Emissary, there’s an eight or nine out of ten chances of being correct.”

“Techniques on sale?” Upon hearing that, they both gasped.

However, upon careful consideration, it was not without precedent.

The last occurrence of a sale was hundreds of years ago, mentioned only in passing by older cultivators.

It must be known that the contribution points required to purchase cultivation techniques are indeed a significant part of a cultivator’s expenses.

Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of contribution points might not be a big deal to He Zhenghao and his ilk.

However, for the majority of cultivators, it was a sum that they might only accumulate by depleting their entire savings.

If the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals relaunched the discount on techniques, even if the discount is only twenty percent, one could save a lot of contribution points during this period.

As one can image, the cultivators will be thrown into frenzy.

The cultivators may even borrow money from everywhere possible just to procure enough contribution points to buy the techniques.

After pondering for some time, He Zhenghao’s eyes sparkled. He had a hunch that it may be an opportunity.

However, his specific plan to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a big fortune was a bit unclear.

He scratched his head in thought, feeling excited.

Impatient, he repeatedly requested, “Brother Zhou, stop holding back, tell us more!”

Zhou Qingang smiled slightly: “It’s simple! First, spread the word that the great battle is about to end, everything is about to return to normal.”

“Once this chance is gone, it’s gone for good. Those who want to secure a position through their contribution points need to hurry up. There won’t be any good opportunities like this in the future!”

“Of course, a small increase in price is very reasonable, isn’t it?”

“Next, announce the reopening of the fundraising plan. This time, we need to make the fundraising even more grandiose.”

“A five-year term target with a return of 200%! The amount of contribution points raised is unlimited!”

As the person who had been in charge of the fundraising plan all along, He Zhenghao’s eyelids twitched at these words.

The Emissary could achieve a return of 200% in five years, given the results of the previous fundraisings and Li Fan’s status as the Envoy of Secrets of Misthaven City. The unrestricted fundraising this time will surely draw in an unimaginable amount of contribution points.

Especially those cultivators who had wanted to participate in Li Fan’s wealth plan several times but had been unable to do so due to various reasons.

After hearing this news, they would certainly hand over their contribution points eagerly and promptly.

After all, five years is neither long nor short.

A period of secluded cultivation would pass quickly, and when it ends, their wealth would have tripled instantly.

This kind of good fortune is hard to come by even with a lantern!

Moreover, Li Fan is the highest administrative official in the Misthaven Ocean Area, there’s no fear that he might flee!

“But if this happens…” Gao Yuan sensed the ruthlessness of this scheme, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

“Yes. Both methods are designed to empty the pockets of the cultivators in a short period of time.”

Zhou Qingang said with some complacency, “When they hand over the wealth they’ve accumulated over the years to us, they’ll suddenly learn that the Immortal Alliance has announced a discount on techniques.”

“Although they know it is an opportunity not to be missed, they won’t be able to produce any additional contribution points.”

“What? They want to renege on the deal and take back their contribution points? They can, but they have to pay penalties, right?”

“If they really have no money left, it’s okay. They can owe it for now, as long as they use magic tools or treasures as collateral.”

“If they don’t want to redeem it and want to take advantage of the discount to buy techniques, we can lend them some. Everything is negotiable! The interest rate is not high, just 20% per annum, it’s quite reasonable!”

…

Zhou Qingang laughed evilly and rattled on, leaving He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan sweating coldly.

After he finally elaborated the entire plan, Gao Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “The Emissary’s plan is indeed brilliant, but there is one thing I don’t understand. Brother Zhou, please enlighten me.”

Zhou Qingang looked at him sideways and was silent for a while.

Seeing that Gao Yuan was a bit nervous, he finally said, “Well, we have been colleagues for many years. Brother Gao, just speak your mind.”

“From what I know of the Emissary, he is not the kind of person who values wealth overly. Why has he suddenly changed this time, causing such a huge stir?”

At this time, He Zhenghao echoed, “Does the Emissary have deeper plans behind this? I also believe that the Emissary would not go to such lengths for mere contribution points.”

Zhou Qingang pondered for a long time, without giving a reply.

It seemed that he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, both He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan knew their guesses were correct. Their hearts surged with anticipation.

After a while, Zhou Qingang made a decision and chose to use telepathy to convey his message, “The Emissary did not explicitly tell me. This is only my speculation.”

“Just take it as a joke and don’t take it seriously!”

Both of them nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.

“It’s very likely that the God Transforming Immortal Monarchs, Hongxi and Zi Yun, might be returning to Misthaven Ocean.”

He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan’s bodies trembled slightly as they seemed to realize something.

“Not only that, but the Nascent Soul Monks from Tiantong Hall and Array Strategy Hall in The Ten Thousand Immortals Island who were transferred earlier may also be returning to Misthaven Ocean soon.”

“The Emissary was appointed externally and his roots are shallow, while he himself is only at Golden Core Cultivation Level. He might not fare favorably against those seasoned Nascent Soul Monks.”

“So, the Emissary is probably trying to gain public support through this method. If the prediction is correct and they really return, the Emissary might just pardon the cultivators’ debts to win the hearts of the public.”

“If the prediction goes wrong, the Emissary would still have made a lot of profit, without any loss”
